My inventionmelates to new and useful improvements in shaving mugs andv has for an object to provide a shaving mug which, primarily, consists of two chambers, one of which is substantially air-tight so that when the warm water is placedy in the one compartment the air will be heated in the other compartment, and the small film or particles of water that adhere to the dividing wall willvbe retained in their heat'edrcondition due to the heated air in thelower chamber.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a shaving mug having two compartments, one of which is substantially air-tight andthe upper compartment being provided with a lid, to the inner portion of whichzmay be fastened Vor temporarily secured,y a, separate container holding shaving powder or shaving cream.- l

Still another object :of the invention is to provideV a shaving mug comprising, primarilytwo compartments andy having Va dividing wall'between the twoy compartments with a roughened upper surface so that small drops or particles of water will adhere thereto and the heated air and the heatedwall will cause the dropsv or particles of water to retain their heat andthus provide a better lather when the brush is inserted and picks up the` heated particles ofwater, said rough- `ened surface also acting asa means for aiding inthe beating ory whipping ofthe soap for materially increasing the numberof air cells in the soap andfdecreasing the size of the air cells.

Still another object of the invention` isfto provide a modified form of shaving mug wherein the lower compartment, if desired, may be accessible so that used razor blades may be placed therein if so desired.

With these and other objects in view, the invention` consists of certain new and novel features and combination of parts as' will be hereinafter more fully describedl and pointed out in the claims.

Referring now to thev dra-wings showing a preferred form and several modifications v thereof f Fig. l is a sectional viewY ofone form of shaving mug showing they two compartments vand an integral chamber carried by the lid for holding soap powder', i c

' Fig., l0. isa fragmentary sectional view shtwing aperforate and an imperforate wall an Fig. 11 is a side elevation showing a mug provided with projections on` its outer surface to prevent the same from` slippingl from the hand. i Y,

Referring new to Fig. 1 there is shown a mugl which may be formed of glassor china v'or' any other suitable material, the diameter of the same may be from two to four inches or might beevenlarger, if desired.

The upperperipherial edge of the mug is provided with threads 3 so that a metal cover 4 may be threaded thereon when the mug is not in use. As shown in Fig. 1, this cover may be providedvfwith: a downwardly depending chamber 5 which in this instance is conical in shape, and-this chamber 5 is provided with a revolvable cap 6 so that the .openings 7 in the chamber and cap may kregister when the cap is turned to thus dropk a little soap powder .8 on the partition wall 9.

It will be seen thatfby providing-this paror short kprojections 12 as may be seen in the several views. The object in roughenv ing the upper surface of this disc 9 is so that the particles of water will adhere to the roughened surface of this disc. "A' small ledge 13 is formed in the interior of the mug at a point that divides the chamber 10 from the chamber 11, and thediscis of such diameter that it may be wedged tightly down in the'mug and tightly on the seat or' ledge 13. Now when it is'vdesired to use this mug the cover may be removed and hot `water poured into the chamber 10 which will heat the metal'disc and will also tend to heat the air in the chamber 11.

The water may be then poured from the chamber 10 and a little soap powder released on the disc. A little water will remain on the disc, the particles clinging to the roughened surface and these particles will be kept warm by the heat of the disc and the heated air in chamber 11. The brush will be inserted in the upper chamber of the mug Vand absorb the heated particles of water and these heated particles of fwater will aid in the chipping of the soap so that a fine lather will be obtained.

In Fig. 2 asimilar form ofshaving mug is shown with the exception that the chamber 11 that corresponds with lthe chamber 11, is decreased in area due to the fact that the bottom wall 14 is raised as may be clearly seen from Fig. 2.

Referring now to the slightly modified forms as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, thecmug -in this instance is similar to that shown in Fig. 1 except that the cover 4 is provided with a clip 15 in which a tube 16 of shaving soap may be inserted and when this cream is used up a new tube of cream may be secured rather than buy the whole new shaving mug.

Referring now to the Fig. 5, a shaving mug similar to that of Fig. 3 will be seen but inthis instance, the cover 17 of the mug 18 is provided withA a central opening 19 in which may project a stem 20, which stem is formed on the bottom of a container 21,which container is adapted to hold the shaving powder 22. In other words, in thisfform a detachable container for shaving soap may be carried in the shaving mug rather than a tube "of shaving cream as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

Referring now to Fig. 6, there is shown a shaving mug 25 and in this instance the partition wall .or disc 26 isformed of glass and the sides yof the partition wall or disc 27 are slightly tapered to wedge in the mug so that the upper chamber 28 is providedl as well as the lower vchamber 29.

lother as forming the little squares 39.

In Fig. 7, another slightly 'modified form is shown wherein the mug 30 has the integral partition wall 31 which divides the chamber 32 from the chamber 33, and in this instance a detachable bottom 34 is provided so that' the old razor blades (not shown) may be carried in this chamber 38, if desired. A cover 35 is shown carrying the integral soap Achamber 36 but it will be understood ythat the cover might be of the form shownin Figs.

` 3 or 5, if desired.

In Fig. 9, I have shown a slightly modified form of the partition wall or disc 37 which might be glass or metal, and in this instance, the roughened surface is provided by having the ribs 38 extending at right anglesto each In Fig. 10 is shown a fragmentary portion of the mug 40, there being two chambers 41 and 42 and the partition wall in this in-VL stance comprises the two plates 43 and-44,the first mentioned being imperforate` and thel second mentioned being perforated to thus provide the upper roughened surface. Instead of having the outside of the mug smooth as shown in the firsttenfigures, the same might'be roughened as shown in Fig. 11, that is the outer surface 45 might be pro,- vided with the little tits 46 or other slight projections to thus prevent the mug from slipping from the hand. From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a shaving mugY consisting primarily, of two chambers, one of which is substantially air-tight, and the partition wall between two chambers having a roughened surface so that the particles of water will cling thereto and due to the heat formed in the lower chamber, will keep these particles of water in a heatedy condition for some time.

It will also be shown that have utilized v Many slight changes might be made withv l out departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. v l

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to hereby secureby Letters Patent is 1. A shaving mug, la partitioned .wall roughened on its upper surface and dividing the mug into two chambers, one of VAwhich is substantially air-tight whereby the air in the one chamber will be heated when a heating agent is applied to the partitionl wall and adapted to keep particles adhering to said partition wall in heated condition. L

2. A shaving mug having a partition wall therein to divide the mug into two chambers, oneof which is substantially air-tight, the

upper surface of the wall being roughened, a cover for the mug and soap holding means carried by the said cover.

3. A shaving mug having a partition wall in its lower portion and dividing the mug into two chambers, one of which is substantially air-tight, the said partition wall having a roughened upper surface whereby particles of a heating agent may cling to the said roughened surface; a removable cover for the mug and a container supported by the cover and extending down into the first chamber and said container adapted to hold a lather-producing material.

4. A shaving mug with a partition Wall dividing the mug into an upper and lower chamber, the lower chamber being substantially air-tight, the said partition having a roughened upper surface; a detachable cover for the mug with means on the undersurface of the cover for supporting shaving soap.

5. A shaving mug having la roughened eX- terior surface and an interior partition wall dividing the mug into two chambers, one of which is substantially air-tight and adapted to retain a heating agent; a cover for the mug and having means for carrying soap releasable upon the wall, and a detachable bottom for the said air-tight chamber.

6. 4A shaving mug having a partition Wall dividing the interior of the mug into superposed chambers, a cover for the mug having means disposed toward the wall for releasably retaining soap, and a detachable bottom for the nether chamber.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature.
